I understand where you are coming from..I am just getting ready for my first consult but have had a horrible response from my husband. He says I am not disciplined (I work 2 jobs and go to school on top of having 3 kids..) and I should be able to do it on my own and I am lazy. The only other people I have told is my Mom and my boss. I don't plan on telling anyone else, it is not their business...

I am new here, I am going for my first consult in 2 weeks but am hell-bent on getting this done. Any information of advice would be appreciated but here is my big question. Everyone I have talked to about this is VERY supportive, my Mom, my Sister, my boss, my friends BUT, my husband is accusing me of taking the easy way out and being lazy for not losing the weight on my own. I have tried every diet under the sun and don't do well because of the crazy work hours I have and having 3 kids. I don't see this as an easy fix, it is an assistance to my efforts. Has anyone out there ever dealt with anything like this, and how? Thanks again!:sad_smile:

Sonja, I have my first consult with Averbach next week but am really nervous about the insurance approval. Do they help with that? I have heard so much good about that practice. I am in Harford County and there is a surgery center about 5 minutes from me but I chose to drive to St. Agnes because of the reputation.

Caramia, I am scheduled for my first consult with Dr. Averbach at St. Agnes, Dr. Singh's partner. So glad to hear it went well. How long did you process take from first consult to surgery? I am so anxious!
